Enema Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I think your friends are right and that you should leave him. You should also have a good long look at yourself. Taking your habit of physical violence into the next relationship is a recipe for lifelong disaster. Link to post Share on other sites
Author abitlost1 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 thanks for a reply...i was a bit nervous about reading it lol... well the thing is im nt usually violent.......he just makes me feel so helpless i cant help but lash out...... even today he only came to see me because he wanted to borrow my laptop and started swearing at me when i said ill give it next time :'( its not fair. the thing is no matter how badly he treats me i always go back...i feel really lonely.... i dnt have many friends and the ones i do dont wana hear about it...........so hes the only one i can chat to.... i dont know y ive always been treated rubbish by guys ive taken the time to get to know.....the nice ones never fancy me either.

Enema Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 That's the typical profile of an abusive, controlling boyfriend. They isolate you from a lot of outside contact, make you feel worthless so that you have no one to be around except them. Then they've got you trapped. You need to stop worrying about being lonely, you'll find new friends easily. Just break up with him and get away now before it's too late and you do some serious harm to each other. You're not happy now and you never will be as long as you're with this guy. Do you want to be unhappy for the rest of your life? By staying with him you're validating his behaviour and in his mind he thinks that if you keep coming back and putting up with it, then it must be ok! Link to post Share on other sites

He cheats on you, you find out and yet you lose your virginity to him. There comes one point where you say to yourself: "It's not worth it". Link to post Share on other sites
Liquinn Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'll make this blunt. Everyone has relationship problems, but yeah, that's not the point. Get out the relationship, move on, get a new boyfriend, do what it takes. You could do so much better. Much luck. Link to post Share on other sites

Out loud if you must. Its spot on and 100% accurate. This bf is almost textbook emotional abuser. In time, you will only be able to define yourself in terms of him - he already has you in his classes at uni. It doesn't get better. It only gets worse. Their is no saving him here, just save yourself. Run, don't walk. And, don't hit. Physical violence never solves anything. Link to post Share on other sites
